His Majesty is my ex-boyfriend

Bai Lu stayed in the sacrificial hall for half an hour before coming out, and as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Chu Ya still standing in the courtyard, untouched.

Bai Lu wiped his eyes, adjusted the expression on his face, and walked towards him as calmly as possible.

Seeing Bai Lu approaching, Chu Ya smiled gently, and didn't ask him what he was doing inside, but changed the subject very thoughtfully, "It's still a bit cold today, do you want to add some clothes?"

Bai Lu shook his head, walked over and suddenly turned back, without looking into Chu Ya's eyes, he just said in a low voice, "Do you know how my mother died?"

"Sorry, I'm not too sure..."

At the beginning, Chu Ya only checked the matter thoroughly, and after confirming that Bai Lu had used him, he soon confronted him. Regarding the cause of his mother's death, he only knew that it was caused by Chu Shen, but he didn't know the specific details.

Bai Lu found a random step and sat down, looking at the uneven outline of the pavilion in the distance, "My mother... is what you call the hostess, but no matter what others say, I love her very much. Raised."

"It was my birthday that day, and it was almost the coldest days in winter. My mother said that she would bring me a cake at night, so I sat on the sofa. In order to save electricity bills, I guarded the door with the lights on and waited until it was dark. , When it snowed heavily in the middle of the night, when I was so sleepy that I fell asleep, what I finally got was the news of my mother's death."

"Later I found out that my mother wanted to come back from get off work early that day, but a guest asked her to accompany her and forced her to drink a lot of bottles of spirits. She passed out on the way home like this because no one saw her. , just froze to death in the snow..."

"That guest is Chu Shen."

Chu Ya's face changed slightly, "Ah Bai..."

Bai Lu paused, his voice a little hoarse, "Chu Shen is powerful, and he didn't kill people intentionally, so he didn't receive any punishment in this case. I've been harboring resentment for a while, why are there so many drunk people in the world?" , but she was the only one who had an accident?"

"I realized later that I actually killed her."

Chu Ya already understood what he meant, and felt a faint pain in his heart, "Ah Bai, don't say that."

But Bai Lu continued as if he didn't hear what he said: "When the sanitation workers found her, she was only wearing a down jacket with a nightclub skirt underneath, and she came back in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to dress In exchange, it was actually for my birthday..."

Bai Lu's throat choked up, his voice was already crying, but he still tried his best to suppress it, his shoulders trembled violently, "It's all for me..."

Chu Ya reached out to hug him, patted his back, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's not your fault, you were still a child at that time, it has nothing to do with you."

He knew that Bai Lu didn't have a good life when he was a teenager. After his mother passed away, he was once decadent, as if he wanted to destroy himself deliberately. Orphanage, was able to finish high school.

After graduating from high school, he went through several jobs, and later became an underground boxer, probably because he could vent his anger in the ring and violence.

Chu Ya caressed the slightly trembling thin body in his arms. This appearance was completely different from Bai Lu's previous life, but many of his habits were exactly the same. He didn't want to cry in front of others, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he just gritted his teeth and endured it.

Yimei suppressed his emotions, concealed his fragility, did not cry when he was in pain, and had sharp thorns all over his body, because he wanted to make himself look powerful so that he would not be bullied.

After all, he has lived in the dangerous arena and society for several years with this almost cruel way of survival.

That day Chu Ya sat with him outside the sacrificial hall for two hours. During the period, the two had almost no conversation, but they could clearly feel each other's existence. This is probably the meaning of companionship. Give each other comfort in silence.

On the second day after the Ching Ming Festival, Bai Lu immediately recovered his calm like a normal person, never mentioning what happened that day, Chu Ya guessed that he probably didn't want to touch the scar in his heart anymore, or maybe he was sad but didn't want to show it.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m grateful to Chu Ya for doing this for him, or because Chu Ya’s words of “It’s not your fault, you were a child back then” touched him that day, and made him considerate of Chu Ya’s feelings. Situation, these days, Bai Lu's attitude towards Chu Ya is obviously better, at least not so vicious.

After the Ching Ming Festival, it will soon be the Shangsi Festival. On this festival, the common people will hold the activity of exorcism and bathing, and they will go to the waterside or the countryside to play together. The same is true in the palace. During the Shangsi Festival, a grand spring feast will be held , to enjoy the spring outing in the beautiful scenery.

On this day, whether it is the concubines in the harem, or the courtiers and their families, they are eligible to travel with the Holy One, and the reputation is called the emperor and ministers to enjoy together.

From the bottom of his heart, Chu Ya didn't want to let Bai Lu get in touch with others, because he was a jealous and possessive man at heart, but he also knew rationally that he couldn't be held as if he was his possession, or he would be suffocated. .

So Chu Ya intentionally asked Bai Lu to go out to relax and hang out with active young people, so he specially told all the ministers to bring their children of the right age to go out together in the early court.

Chu Ya's intention was to find some playmates for Bai Lu to talk to, but when the ministers heard the words, they immediately changed their meaning.

Those who have daughters in the family feel that His Majesty intends to fill the harem, so they are pleased with themselves, and hurriedly ask their daughters to dress up, learn palace etiquette in advance, and strive to be favored by His Majesty on the Shangsi Festival, and then fly up the branches and become phoenixes.

Those who have sons at home feel that His Majesty is preparing to recruit talents and select young and worthy officials for the court on the occasion of the trip, so they hurriedly ask their sons to prepare well, study the classics day and night, and strive to be appreciated by His Majesty on the Shangsi Festival. Enter the court and become a courtier of one party.

In short, these few words of His Majesty caused quite a stir in the palace, only Bai Lu, the person concerned, was completely out of the situation, he didn't even know what the Shangsi Festival was... and most likely he didn't know it at all. the word.

Chu Ya didn't explain much to him, but just told him that he was going to take him to the countryside that day.

Bai Lu glanced at him inexplicably, "Going out of the palace? Are you not afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape?"

Chu Ya didn't answer directly, but smiled inexplicably.

It was not until the morning of the Shangsi Festival that Bai Lu knew the meaning behind Chu Ya's smile.

The Holy Majesty's traveling team is really huge, there are nearly a hundred chariots and horses, and the number of people is almost a thousand. In addition to the courtiers and their families, there are also concubines and their servants in the harem, and the rest have two hundred court ladies, two hundred eunuchs, There are two hundred guards, one hundred cavalry, and one hundred imperial cooks, imperial doctors, musicians, dancers, etc.

With so many people and so many pairs of eyes, if Bai Lu could really escape from the inside, then he would be considered a god-man.

Bai Lu was speechless, "It's just an outing, so many people are needed?"

In that TV drama, didn't the emperor take two little guards and go directly to the mountains and rivers?

Chu Ya smiled, "After all, half of the courtiers have come, so the guards still have to do a good job."

Just as they were talking, six horses pulled a luxurious and tall carriage and parked steadily next to them. The emperor drove six, and the six-horse carriage was called a royal chariot, which only the emperor could ride in.

Bai Lu looked back, the other carriages were bigger with four horses and smaller with only two horses, none of them could compare with the one in front of them.

Geng Qing jumped out of nowhere, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the team is ready and ready to go at any time."

Bai Lu: "Why are you everywhere?"

In front of His Majesty, Geng Qing always pretended to be serious, and bowed very politely, "Return to your son, this subordinate is in charge of guarding the entire team. If you have any needs, just ask your subordinates."

Bai Lu shrugged, turned around and stepped on the horse stool to get into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, he couldn't help thinking, isn't Geng Qing an ordinary second-class bodyguard, would Chu Ya entrust him with such an important task?
